Theoretical background
The SRD was created for the original National Youth Survey (NYS), a longitudinal study of delinquent behaviour among American youth. The scale was developed with the intention of including items that were representative of the full range of acts for which juveniles could be arrested and involved a recall period of one year. It can be scored by adding the 24 item scores on a 9-point ordinal scale (from Never =1; to Two-three times a day = 9). Higher scores indicate higher levels of juvenile delinquency.
